Triple-Creme Cheeses

Cream is added to the milk to create the richest, most buttery group of cheeses. Triple cremes are a type of bloomy rind cheese and also are aged about two weeks. In order to qualify as a triple-creme, the cheeses must have more than 72% butterfat content, which provides the smooth texture. As with other cheeses that have short aging periods, the flavors are mild and the aromas are subtle.
